after trimming a quilt i always save the batt scraps. i stuff my binding for even fullness all around. sometimes it's just a sliver of batt here & there. it's something i read in a magazine article many years ago. it was about little things that judges check for in quilt shows. i've only shown a few quilts in small shows over the years, no ribbons, but they always looked so nice hanging up there with the other quilts.
